Newsflash: you can use Capacitor without using Ionic Framework.
Capacitor works great with @MaterialUI or @quasarframework or @getbootstrap or @tailwindcss
Or even your homegrown UI.
Of course, @Ionicframework is optimized for it, but it's just an option.
Have at it!
So wait, @Ionicframework Capacitor allows me to just use any web framework I want and still have support for all the native things I'm looking for?
Why isn't this more popular?

. @nuxt_js + Capacitor == 😍
Good Question! Couple reasons.
1. They are entirely separate repos. Laravel runs the API, NuxtJS the frontend
2. By separating repos you can scale accordingly.
3. Most important, you can package Nuxt with @capacitorjs and deploy to web and mobile using the same code.
